Heilsa,

Thought to share this past weekend Joint War practice,
hosted by Steppes.

Clouds gathered upon Horizon
Hold promise of Rain
Or was it War - Perhaps both
Both Heavy and Light with supporters
Respond to them
To greet these Clouds

76 for a High
Wind blowing - cooling it was

Overall, a excellent day to be in armor
Exchanging blows with friends.

Gulf Wars will start this Sunday, March 11th
through March 19th.

People in armor:      15
People Rapier:           9
Children:                      5
Total in attendance:  41

Must offered an apology for an incomplete count of
good gentles that came out and attended this practice.

Especially to the Rapier folks who came out for not giving
a complete listing of their activities this day. I was on the field
and practicing as well for Gulf Wars. I did see both
one-on-one and a war practice.

Sir Duncan provided a number of scenarios for
small units as well as individual survival which does add
toward the overall group effort by remaining on the field
and being effective.

2 minute time limit:
Three on Three
 Four on Three

10 and 30 second time limit:
Two on Two
One on One

Heavy Fighters involved:
Sir Daffydd with heater and sword
Centurion Louie with heater and sword
Centurion Tomas with heater and sword
Lord Richard with round and sword
Lord Hrafn with either round or kite and sword
Lord Arias with heater and sword
Lord CinaedOHosey with war shield and sword
Lord Eirikr with heater and sword
Robert with kite and sword
Till with kite and sword

Three Combat Archers were involved in various scenarios as directed
by Sir Duncan. The basic scenario was for the Combat Archers to shoot
at both sides of the heavy fighters. Which also included shooting at the
fighters' backs, which is to prepare our heavy fighters for this type of
Combat Archery at Gulf Wars this year, just as it was allowed last year.
Part of these scenarios was for the heavy fighters to attempt to turn their
opponent so that the opponent's back was to the combat archers,
just providing a target for a arrow or two or three...

The following Combat Archers involved:
Centurion Stella Silvana
HL Fearghus MacKenna
Lord Michael Kettering

Lord Arias decided that fair was fair and charge the combat archers to
express his views of combat archery. :)
